I remember hearing people reference how terrible it was before, but seeing this for the first time is just baffling.

I can only imagine him refusing to listen to others in the room trying to subtlety give him advice.

    It’s like he wanted to be a glass cannon but couldn’t dodge well/ran out of stamina easily and didn’t like getting clobbered. Also, why have two shields? That’s just wasting equip load for no reason.

    Edit: The longer I look at this thing the more questions I have. Where are his health and mana flasks?

      Maybe he has them in the pocket slots? Somehow I doubt this guy can press 2 buttons at once to sip.

        Overencumbered runs are possible. I have seent it in every souls game and elden ring. Not heavy roll: max load. Slow walk no roll no run. Full 100%.

        Not sure if ER DLC runs have been done yet though.

    I watched someone do the Musk build challenge run once, but she’s one of those people who plays perfectly and never gets hit regardless so it wasn’t super interesting compared to anything else.

    He pays others to kill things & to tell him where to go, he is just proud of how good he is playing the walking simulator.

    Classic “max power!!!” move. He will end up running out of mana very quickly and be oneshot by most of the middle/high bosses in the game or any long range counter attack. Doesn’t matter from how far you shoot your stuff, you’ll need to roll out of the way as far as possible.

      I suppose it’s the equivalent of spelling your name right at the top of the test, and that gets points sometimes…

          I mean it’s mostly in, like, elementary school. But I’m pretty sure that’s exactly where we are, looking at this fucker carrying two shields and fatrolling instead of just learning to dodge

    Maybe he just equipped everything at once for the picture and normally swaps between these shields and weapons depending on the area/boss? It’s still not great, but nothing unusual from a first time player.

    Like, don’t get me wrong, Elon sucks and you pretty much only hear about him being dumb these days, but that build still seems worse than I’d expect if he carries everything all at once.

      I didn’t have time to watch it, but I saw someone had posted a video of themselves doing a run with this build. I have to imagine it’s hard.
